The Suckadelic Art Toy Universe: Retrospective and Pop Up Store

NYC’s Boo-Hooray Gallery announces the first retrospective gallery exhibition by subversive toy-making geniuses, SUCKADELIC. Intentionally confusing, misleading, disappointing and really funny, SUCKADELIC’s limited edition parodies of action figures reverberate with a vicious wit and are oddly eyeball-pleasing in the manner of all kinds of toothsome 20th/21st century collage and montage art. The toys and their aggressively situationist piss-take packaging comment on pop culture commodification and the consumer habits of compulsively shopping kidults: The very process that made KAWS, Takashi Murakami and Michael Lau art-stars on the Art Basel Miami/Armory Show/Venice Biennale tip.

This exhibition marks the first time the entire SUCKADELIC catalogue will be exhibited in one place. For the duration of the exhibit, a SUCKADELIC SUCK-SHOPPE pop-up store will be open. Original artwork, sculptures, silk- screens and paintings will also be for sale. The opening night party takes place on Tuesday, January 11 at 6 PM where attendees will have the opportunity to meet the characters from the SUCKADELIC Universe. You know I’ll be there!

Boo-Hooray Gallery is Located at 521 W 23rd Street, New York, NY 10011, and the Exhibit is Open Every Day from 11 AM – 6 PM from January 12 – 23, 2011
